HI I got a Steyr Pro X after looking at it for a year , I always liked Styer for the Powder burner long range stuff , About 1 year ago I ordered one from Mundair 1 year ago , my first and only semi automatic pcp gun , I have to say out of box it worked flawless , the power was a bit low though I did however replace the hammer spring with a bit heavier one , When I got mine it was about 26fpe I run mine now about 31fpe , It has a bit of learning curve compared to other PCP guns I own , here is 1 example , I removed barrel to clean and polish it , which was very easy , after installing it back on the gun puffed air near magisine , I was like Hmm , I found out by guys at Mundair where I got gun , the 2 screws holding barrel are not just for locking down barrel one accually pulls barrel one way the other lockes it down , this gun requires like almost 0 clearance between barrel and magisine or it will be loud and not cycle , if it is tightened too much , it wont spin , so small things like this you learn as you go . I want to touch on pellets for mine , well mine shoots all pellets fine , the 25 gr are too tall so they will not work , The magisine has no oring like all other pcp guns to hold them into magisine , while it shoots .550 and .551 good the ,552 are best as they have some interferance from magisine to pellet meaning they stay put once you seat them , So after learning this I only use .552 . I found the new H&N 18 gr shoot best in my gun , one hole at 35 a ragged hole at 50 yards and group great at 100 yards , I can routinely hit a 1 inch spinner at 109 yards during light wind ,
All groups shown are 100 yds shooting from my 2Vets tripod , I read you need low scope mounts , While in picture is my Tier 1 ZCO 4-20 scope with a spurh mount , I find I can shoot any height scope ring weather I pop on a 5ximmerse optic or I run my ZCO when I want to shoot 100 yd groups as the glass is one of best I own ,I like it better then my Schmidt benders , ok but when I am hunting I do not run such a heavy large optic for a 31fpe gun , Id have to say My favorite optic for this gun is my Eotec 3-4 red-dot with 4 dots for hold over and I run a Eotech G33 flip to the side 3x magnifier , this is very fast for aquiring a target and also for moving game being this is a semi automatic here is a picture of it on my gun ,
OK last thing to touch on , I have to run a moderator , I have like a bunch of donnys and 1 0db but my 0db is in 30 cal so I did order a fatboy for it , and like rest of things I read it did not work very well out of box , WHen I took it apart I also noticed it had only 2 chambers , well I got to talking to MTN here on forum and I told himit didnt preform well , I said it has endcaps for different calibers , he told me the holes were too large so I followed his advice and made up a few reducers which I pressed into place in the endcaps and body and I also cut .030 off coupling male thread and made up a washer with a .230 hole so now instead of having .370 holes mine are now .230 and now it is mouse quiet , for heck of it I took my monster donny called emporer and made up a few bushings and if I run this which I wont It make no noise at all lol I do alot of tuning and mods to guns and ammos but I never thought of modding my moderators but now thanks to a member /friend I do now thanks MtN.
here is gun set up for target shooting
Ht
and here is gun with EOtech and G33 set up for hunting
lastly here is moderator with mods which now I am delighted with the Fatboy ,One thing about moderators is it must be difficult to know how large to make holes and a balance of noise and performance ,I remember one moderator I got from Donny for a 25 cal , it was a hatsan it went onto scroud and it clipped , Donny told me order moderators one size bigger and he sent me out a larger one , well he was correct , he knows his stuff , You see the tolerances in the hatsan scroud are not too precise like the barrel of the styer , so I am able to use a hole of .230 when shooting a ,217 pellet , So he has to make them larger as they go onto hundreds of platforms and not all are perfectly true and exactly centered ,But the Styer is so I got it so quiet the tree chickens wont hear it comming , Titus and I are ready for battle if the snow melts we got till Feb 28 for squirrels
